The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all whom tt may'concern.- v

Be it known that I, J OSEPII COX, of the cityof' Philadelphia, in theStale of' Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement inthe Illuminating Parlor Oven-Stoye; and I do herebydeclare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of' the constructionand operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, making a part of' this specification, in whicll- 1 Figure l isa perspective view of the upper portion of the said improved' stove, and

Figures 2 and 3, respective central vertical transverse and longitudinalsections of' fig. 1.

Like letters of' reference indicate the same parts when in the differentfigures.

In the construction ofthe illuminating parlor ovenstove, the-outsideplates of' the overl, and offthose of the illun:mating-portion below it,have hitherto been made or cast separately, and the two apartments thenformed by adjusting their respective plates in position, and finallyconnecting the so-formed parts together.

The object of' my improvement is4 to reduce the cost of' constructingthis class of stoves; and

- My invention consists in casting or constructing each of the 'outsidevertical plates of the oven, and those of the illulninating-portion ofthe stovetogether, or in one piece, substantially as hereinafter setforth and described.

Referring to the drawings- A A and B B are the outside vertical plates,which serve both for thev ov'e'n and the illuminating-portions of thestove.

C Oand D D, the interior plates of' the oven-chamber; and

E E F, the fines, passing from the illuminating-portion K n upward, andover the oven`-chamber H, to the escape-flue I. (See figs. 2 and 3.)

'Ihe vertical outside plates A A and B B are each cast or constructed inone piece, so as to form, when y adjusted together, the outside verticalor side walls of both the oven and the illuminating-portion of thestove, and the inside plates C C and D'D, of the interior chamber H ofsaidA oven, so as to form, when adjusted together, within the saidoutside vertical plates, A A and B B, and the horizontal top plate G,the flucs L L L, extending from `the illumimiting-por- .tion K, which isdirectly below the bottom plate, O, of' the oven-chamber H,'up\vard, andover the said ovenchamber, .to the escape-flue I, as represented'in thedrawings. i

In the operation of this improvement, the mica windows a' and b show audtransmit. the light of the incandescent fuel, as heretofore, theillmniuafing-pore tion K being largely open to the said fuel in thefirebox or cylinder below, as indicated 4by the faint lines r r in figs.2 and 3.

It will be seen that as the outside plates of the oven` y and oftheilluminating-portion K are the same, there will necessarily be greateconomy in flasks for and time in moulding and casting, and therefore aconsid'- erable reduction in the cost of' constructing this class ofstoves; whilst at the same time the effectiveness of each ofthevertical'outside plates or walls of' both the oven and theilluminating-poltion of the said stove cast or constructed in one andthe same piece, substantially as and for the purpose described.
